It's more difficult than this.  The Boost.Python types.cpp source
code 
needs to be modified to contain the following line:

dest->tp_flags |= Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_INPLACEOPS;

and there are other modifications needed to activate the in-place 
operators within the Boost Python source.  I encountered these same 
issues when I added support for Python 2.1 rich comparisons, which 
will be in the next Boost.Python release.

I don't have time to do this right now but I'll try to get to it 
within the next couple of weeks :)
